Russia Threatens Fresh Strikes on Kyiv Command Posts and Drone Factories

Russia's foreign ministry announced plans for systematic strikes against Kyiv targeting military decision-making centers, command posts, and drone manufacturing facilities, following one of the largest attacks on the Ukrainian capital since the war began. The threat represents an escalation in Russia's aerial campaign against Ukraine's military infrastructure and civilian areas. The strikes directly affect U.S. military aid policy, as American weapons and intelligence support Ukraine's defense capabilities and drone production—core targets of Russia's stated objectives. The announcement follows a pattern of Russian escalation after major offensive operations.
